Sarah tenta salvar o mundo
by Noah Porter Bruna D'ÁvilaA terra inteira está devastada. Uma fumaça acre emana de todos os cantos. Há casas dizimadas, crianças gritando, mulheres chorando e devastação generalizada. Os mortos caminham sobre a Terra, e os vivos se parecem mais com os mortos a cada dia que passa. Ainda mais assustador que o barulho, contudo, é o silêncio sinistro que domina as antigas cidades, onde não há mais ninguém para chorar e nada para destruir. Enquanto isso, humanos transformados em monstros ferozes como fruto de um erro fatal vagam pela terra, prontos para silenciar ainda mais pessoas. Foi mal. Acho que estou sendo sombria demais. Meu nome é Sarah Sindile. Sou uma das sobreviventes às bombas atômicas e pestes da Terceira Guerra Mundial. Agora, continuo determinada a sobreviver à próxima onda de catástrofes. Tsunamis, terremotos e furacões não são nada em comparação com o que está acontecendo. Estamos sendo silenciados de modo lento, porém certeiro, até que não haja mais ninguém. E eu vou tentar salvar o mundo.
The Sarah Zettel Collection: Playing God, Reclamation, The Quiet Invasion, and Fool's War
by Sarah ZettelFour galaxy-spanning novels by an award-winning author with a &“gift for creating fully realized cultures&” (Booklist). In Fool&’s War, Katmer Al Shei has done well with the starship Pasadena, cutting corners where necessary to keep her crew paid and her journeys profitable. But there are two things she will never skimp on: her crew—and her fool. For a long space journey, a certified Fool&’s Guild clown is essential, to amuse, excite, and otherwise distract the crew from the drudgeries of interstellar flight. Her newest fool, Evelyn Dobbs, is a talented jester. But does she have enough wit to save mankind? In Playing God, the planet of the Dedelphi has been riven by war for two centuries. Though delicate, swanlike creatures, the planet&’s natives are fierce in battle, and their ceaseless conflict has reduced their world to a wasteland. To save themselves and their world, the Dedelphi have forged a fragile peace and called for outside intervention. The Earth corporation Bioverse constructs a plan to heal the shattered planet. It&’s the most ambitious engineering project the universe has ever seen, and if it backfires, the result will almost certainly be genocide. In The Quiet Invasion, Dr. Helen Failia is nearing middle age at eighty-three, but has lost none of her fighting spirit. The founder of Earth&’s first fully functioning colony on Venus, she will do anything to ensure that the home she&’s built and nurtured not only survives, but thrives. Despite her constant work, funding for the colony is running out, and she&’s dreading telling the ten thousand colonists they must move to Earth, a world some of them have never even seen. When one of her probes returns with the unprecedented proof of an ancient alien artifact on the surface of Venus she cannot believe her luck. This is the first evidence that humanity is not alone, and the discovery will surely secure the research colony&’s future. In Reclamation, Eric Born knows his way around the universe. He&’s a quick-thinking merchant blessed with natural telekinetic skill. He&’s also that rarest of creatures, a human being. Humans have been scattered across the universe, powerless and oppressed, dispersed so widely that no one knows what planet they first came from. Eric survives by selling his talents to the mysterious galactic tyrants known as the Rhudolant Vitae, but has never forgotten he belongs to the human race, and the distant world, the Realm of the Nameless Powers. The Realm may be a backwater, but Eric will do anything to protect his home from the merciless and powerful Vitae.
Sarahland
by Sam Cohen"Queer, dirty, insightful, and so funny" (Andrea Lawlor), this coyly revolutionary debut story collection imagines new origins and futures for its cast of unforgettable protagonists—almost all of whom are named Sarah.NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2021 BY THE MILLIONS * OPRAH MAGAZINE * ELECTRIC LITERATURE * REFINERY29 * COSMO * THE ADVOCATE * ALMA * PAPERBACK PARIS * WRITE OR DIE TRIBE * READS RAINBOWIn Sarahland, Sam Cohen brilliantly and often hilariously explores the ways in which traditional stories have failed us, both demanding and thrillingly providing for its cast of Sarahs new origin stories, new ways to love the planet and those inhabiting it, and new possibilities for life itself. In one story, a Jewish college Sarah passively consents to a form-life in pursuit of an MRS degree and is swept into a culture of normalized sexual violence. Another reveals a version of Sarah finding pleasure—and a new set of problems—by playing dead for a wealthy necrophiliac. A Buffy-loving Sarah uses fan fiction to work through romantic obsession. As the collection progresses, Cohen explodes this search for self, insisting that we have more to resist and repair than our own personal narratives. Readers witness as the ever-evolving "Sarah" gets recast: as a bible-era trans woman, an aging lesbian literally growing roots, a being who transcends the earth as we know it. While Cohen presents a world that will clearly someday end, "Sarah" will continue.In each Sarah's refusal to adhere to a single narrative, she potentially builds a better home for us all, a place to live that demands no fixity of self, no plague of consumerism, no bodily compromise, a place called Sarahland.

And while she thinks she loves her boyfriend, Matt, she isn&’t sure he&’s mature enough to be a responsible father. And the job she&’s pursuing is open only because the previous employee is out on maternity leave. Sarah would never be able to handle the travel as a single mom.Torn between advice from her coworkers, the insistence of her mother and sister that she keep the baby, her insecurity about her relationship with Matt, and the void where her father should be, Sarah has no idea how to make this decision.A Christmas card from a mysterious old woman is the catalyst for three visions of her future—and just may be the miracle she needs. But can she trust the visions? Are they the yearnings of a conflicted heart? Or are they true visions from the God she thought had turned His back on her?For every woman who has made painful decisions, Sarah&’s Choice offers comfort, wisdom and hope."This story provides a bit of encouragement and hope to those facing a difficult decision." —Romantic Times, 4-star review"A thought-provoking and stirring story of painful choices and their ramifications.
